Silver Is Beating Gold Despite a Stronger Dollar—Is AI Capex the Missing Driver? FMP Forex News
Original source text
TL;DR: Gold and Silver face the same stronger-Dollar, more-hawkish-Fed headwind this week, yet Silver is outperforming and pulling the Gold/Silver ratio to a three-month low—a divergence that lines up circumstantially with renewed AI capex enthusiasm rather than anything gold-specific.

Gold and silver are facing essentially the same macro headwind this week. The Dollar Index has reclaimed the 100 handle, while expectations for further Fed tightening have strengthened. Yet the two metals aren’t responding in the same way. Gold remains boxed below important resistance, while silver has recovered more convincingly. The result is a renewed slide in the gold/silver ratio to around 65, its lowest level since late June. That divergence raises a useful question: if the stronger Dollar and a more hawkish Fed are weighing on both metals, what is silver pricing that gold isn’t?

One plausible answer is the renewed boom in AI capital-expenditure expectations. The argument isn’t that this week’s data-center construction suddenly generated enough physical silver demand to move prices. Procurement and construction operate over quarters and years, not trading sessions. Rather, markets can reprice silver’s forward industrial demand curve as expectations for AI infrastructure spending change. That matters because silver has direct exposure to the buildout through electronics, chip packaging, connectors, power equipment, and data-center infrastructure. The Silver Institute expects data centers alone to account for more than 10% of electrical and electronics silver demand next year, while identifying AI and data centers as important structural demand drivers.

Gold/Silver Ratio Tracks the AI Sentiment Turn Recent price action offers at least circumstantial support for that idea. When Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s warnings over the pace of AI development helped cool enthusiasm toward the theme, AI-related equities pulled back and the gold/silver ratio rebounded, meaning silver underperformed gold. That move has since reversed as the AI investment narrative regained momentum.

The change was visible across markets early this week. AMD crossed the $1 trillion market-cap threshold as confidence in AI computing demand returned, while the Nasdaq pushed to fresh records amid renewed enthusiasm toward AI-related stocks. Nebius had also recently raised prices for access to certain Nvidia chips for a second time in three months, citing surging demand for computing power. These are different pieces of the AI story, but they point in the same direction: markets are again raising estimates of how much capital will be needed to build and operate AI infrastructure.

At roughly the same time, the gold/silver ratio resumed its decline. That doesn’t establish AI capex as the sole cause. Silver has different positioning, volatility, and industrial sensitivity from gold, and other factors can move the ratio. But the two recent inflection points have at least behaved in the direction the AI-demand thesis would predict: enthusiasm cooled and silver lagged; enthusiasm returned and silver began outperforming again.

Anticipatory Pricing, Not Immediate Physical Demand That distinction is important. The thesis would be much weaker if it depended on physical silver consumption suddenly appearing because an AI company announced a larger investment plan on Monday. It doesn’t.

Commodity markets routinely price future supply and demand well before physical flows arrive. Bigger expectations for data centers imply more servers, electrical equipment, power transmission, cooling infrastructure, and semiconductor capacity. Silver is used across several of those chains because of its electrical and thermal properties. The Silver Institute’s broader 2026 outlook explicitly identifies data centers and AI technologies as areas supporting silver consumption even as weakness elsewhere, notably photovoltaics, restrains overall industrial demand.

In that sense, AI capex can influence silver today through the same mechanism by which commodity markets react to a future mine closure, refinery expansion, or infrastructure boom: the expected demand curve changes before the metal itself moves through the supply chain.

Dollar and Fed Still Matter—Gold Shows It The common macro backdrop has hardly disappeared. Futures markets put the probability of another Fed hike at the next meeting near 53%. St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem has said additional tightening will likely be needed, while Boston Fed President Susan Collins said she supported last week’s hike because inflation risks remain elevated. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee has also emphasized persistent inflation pressure in demand-sensitive areas.

ActionForex’s Technical View on Gold Gold’s price action fits that environment cleanly. Its rebound remains capped below 4,399.58, with the 4-hour 55 EMA around 4,352 also limiting momentum. More importantly, the 38.2% retracement of 4,697.07 to 4,234.68 at 4,410.32 remains intact. As long as that level holds, the rise from 4,234.68 can still be treated as corrective, leaving another decline through 4,234.68 possible. A firm break of 4,410.32 would change the picture and target the 4,510.90–4,519.82 resistance zone.

ActionForex’s Technical View on Silver Silver is behaving differently. The rebound from 62.27 has held, with price back above its 4-hour 55 EMA near 65.56. Momentum isn’t particularly forceful, but a firm break of 68.32 would strengthen the case that the three-wave correction from 71.16 ended at 62.27. That would reopen 71.16, followed by the 61.8% projection around 72.46.

The Ratio Is Approaching the Real Test The clearest technical signal may therefore come from the ratio itself. The decline from 72.55 is approaching a significant support cluster. The 38.2% retracement of 52.72 to 72.55 sits at 64.95, while the rising medium-term trend line comes in around 64.2.

For now, that zone argues against assuming an immediate breakdown. A bounce remains possible, particularly with 4-hour momentum already subdued. Near-term risk nevertheless stays tilted lower while 66.44 resistance holds.

A decisive break beneath the 64 area would be much more consequential. It would expose the 61.8% retracement at 60.26 and raise the possibility the entire rebound from 52.72 has completed. In market terms, that could mark the point where silver’s relative strength moves from an interesting divergence into something more durable.

What Comes Next The next test is whether the relationship survives another change in the AI narrative. The Nasdaq’s latest record run has been supported by renewed optimism around AI investment, while Thursday’s meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is also expected to include AI-related issues alongside trade discussions.

That leaves three things worth watching together: new AI-capex headlines, the gold/silver ratio’s 64 support zone, and the evolution of Fed hike expectations. If AI enthusiasm persists while the ratio breaks decisively lower despite a firm Dollar, the case that silver is increasingly trading its industrial-demand future rather than simply following gold would become considerably stronger.

Key Takeaways Gold and Silver face the same headwinds (Dollar back above 100, ~53% odds of another Fed hike), but the Gold/Silver ratio has still fallen to around 65, its lowest since late June. The divergence tracks AI sentiment shifts circumstantially: Amodei’s AI-development warnings coincided with silver underperformance, and the recent AI enthusiasm rebound (AMD crossing $1tn, Nasdaq records) coincided with silver’s outperformance resuming. The Silver Institute projects data centers will account for over 10% of electrical and electronics silver demand next year, giving the metal direct exposure the AI capex narrative can plausibly affect. Gold remains capped below 4,410.32 resistance, still corrective above 4,234.68, while Silver’s rebound from 62.27 has held and needs a break of 68.32 to strengthen its own bullish case. The Gold/Silver ratio’s 64-64.95 support cluster is the key test; a decisive break below 64 would expose 60.26 and strengthen the case that silver is trading its own industrial-demand story rather than just following gold.

Gold and Silver Price Forecast: Fed Hike Bets Cap Gains as Oil Falls FMP Forex News
Original source text
Gold Price Forecast: $4,300 Support Faces a Test Gold Daily Chart: Triangle Holds Between $4,150 and $4,550 The daily chart for spot gold shows that the price has been consolidating between the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, between $4,300 and $4,530. The price has been consolidating within the triangle pattern. A break of this triangle is required to determine the next direction.

The support of the triangle now remains around $4,150 on the downside, while resistance is around $4,550 on the upside. Therefore, a break of either level will likely define the next move in the gold market. But the RSI remains below the midline, which shows negative price action in the short term. A confirmed break below $4,150 is required to push prices toward the $4,000 area.

USDCAD: ⬆️ Buy

– USDCAD broke resistance zone

– Likely to rise to resistance level 1.4150

USDCAD currency pair recently broke through the resistance zone lying at the intersection of the round round resistance level 1.4000 (50% Fibonacci correction of the downward wave (2) from July) and the resistance trendline of the daily down channel from July.

The breakout of this resistance zone accelerated the active intermediate impulse wave (3).

Given the strongly bullish US dollar sentiment, USDCAD currency pair can be expected to rise further toward the next resistance level 1.4150.

Silver Trades the Yield, Not the Deficit FMP Forex News
Original source text
The move since the decision came as the 10-year Treasury yield slipped back under 5% and oil eased. Brent went from above $105 toward $104 on reports that Saudi Arabia was working to restore its East-West pipeline. The Golden Meadow® research this article draws on has tracked the link between silver and the bond market through three issues now. September tested it twice in two weeks.

The Treasury Bought $5.2 billion of Long Bonds on September 10, and Long-term Yields Rose Anyway The previous issue closed with a hypothesis. Silver, it said, may respond to how officials react to fiscal stress rather than to the stress itself. The idea was simple. When the Treasury or the Fed steps in to hold borrowing costs down, investors read that as money being printed to cover the deficit. Silver rises as protection. August looked like proof. On August 19 the Treasury announced it would at least double the size of its buybacks of long-dated bonds. In a buyback the Treasury buys its own debt back from the dealers who hold it. The 30-year yield fell, and silver rose 14.9% in the month on Sprott Money’s series, from the July close to an August 31 morning reading.

The first test of the hypothesis arrived on September 10, and the hypothesis needed a condition. The Treasury ran the first of the enlarged operations, buying bonds that mature in 10 to 20 years. The cap was $6.0 billion, above the minimum it had announced. It bought $5.2 billion. The operation was larger than promised and on schedule. Long-term yields still rose. The 30-year yield had fallen to 5.196% on the day of the announcement. By September 14 it stood at 5.353%. The 10-year touched 5% for the first time since 2023. Silver fell 4.8% over the two weeks.

The fiscal picture had not improved in the meantime. It had got worse. The August Monthly Treasury Statement put the deficit at $1,966 billion for the first eleven months of the fiscal year. Interest on the debt passed $1 trillion for the first time. What changed was the inflation data and the oil price. A strong jobs report arrived on September 4.

A week later, core inflation, which strips out food and energy, came in hotter than expected. Together they took a September rate rise from a coin flip to a near certainty. The 2-year yield, the one that tracks what the Fed will do next, rose about 30 basis points. Brent crude went from around $95 to above $105 when Saudi Arabia shut its main export pipeline. The Fed reads dearer oil as more inflation to come. Silver followed the rate outlook down.

The appetite to sell long bonds to the Treasury thinned as the cap grew, rather than the reverse. The second is the Treasury’s own stated reason for enlarging the program. It was to support trading in a part of the market where dealers already participate strongly. It was not the story of a buyers’ strike that circulated in August.

The mechanics explain why the program cannot hold yields down when the Fed is about to tighten. The Treasury pays for the bonds it buys by issuing new short-term bills, so the national debt does not shrink. It gets shorter. The Federal Reserve buys none of it. The Fed’s separate purchases of bills to manage bank reserves have been at zero since mid-August. The operation adds no new money to the system. It is a small swap of long debt for short debt, run by the borrower, and the bond market has treated it that way.

What Happened After the Decision The Fed raised on September 16 and projected another increase before the end of the year. In the premium issue that combination was named as the outcome that would be bad for silver. Silver rose all the same, and the reason fits the rule rather than breaking it. Oil eased on reports of progress at the Saudi pipeline and on resumed talks with Gulf states.

Lower oil took some inflation fear out of the bond market, and long yields fell. The 10-year yield had traded above 5% the week before. It was back near 4.93% by September 18, and silver rose with it. That week, silver moved with long-term yields and not with the rate the Fed sets, which went up.

Sources: Federal Reserve, FOMC statement, September 16, 2026 | Forbes Advisor, Treasury rates, September 21, 2026 | Kitco, September 18, 2026 | Fortune, silver price, September 22, 2026 The September 14 readings are from the premium issue’s research window. The 30-year and 10-year yields are Forbes Advisor’s September 21 afternoon readings; silver is Fortune’s 6 a.m. Eastern reading on September 22.

One number has not moved enough to settle anything. The 30-year yield at 5.29% is still above the 5.196% it reached when the buybacks were enlarged in August. The Treasury’s current run of enlarged operations continues through November 4. If long yields finish that run above their August level and silver has not responded, the debasement mechanism is broken rather than conditioned. I will say so in print. If yields fall through that run and silver rises, the August reading was right, with the condition stated here. The Treasury can move silver only when the Fed is not pulling the other way.

What This Means to Silver Investors Silver responds to fiscal stress when it believes the stress is being paid for with new money. It believes that only when the institution intervening appears to control long-term rates. While the Fed was on hold, a Treasury buyback could carry that impression, which is what August was. Once the Fed moved to tighten, short-term rates moved first, and control of long-term rates went back to the Fed.

The Treasury cannot out-signal the Fed. What the past week added is the other half of the same rule. When long yields ease for any reason, including cheaper oil, silver rises even in the week the Fed raises. The metal is not trading the deficit, and it is not trading the rate the Fed sets. It is trading long-term interest rates.

Why the Peace Tease Isn't Reaching Gold FMP Forex News
Original source text
We saw the same kind of “strength” at the 2012 corrective upswing. I’m measuring the character of the “strength” by applying the RSI indicator to the HUI (proxy for gold stocks) to gold ratio. As you can see on the above chart, the final parts of the post-top consolidation – the 2012 top and the recent one – were characterized by a quick spike in the ratio as well as the RSI indicator based on it.

So, no, this kind of “strength” doesn’t tell us that the decline is over. It tells us that history is rhyming, and the next verse doesn’t look pretty.

Where This Leaves Us My outlook and positions are unchanged, and the profit-take levels remain in place.

Oil is down 14 percent in five sessions on a peace that the administration has now dated to the far side of the election, stocks are a session from a record on the flag scenario I named yesterday, and gold got $30 of the whole move and is giving it back with the dollar above 100 for a third close.

The tape has spent a week removing the reason gold was meant to rise. Gold has spent the same week proving it never had it.

U.S. Dollar Tests New Highs As Fed's Collins Warns About Inflation Risks: Analysis For EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, USD/JPY
EURUSD EUR/USD GBPUSD GBP/USD USDCAD USD/CAD
FMP Forex News
Original source text
Key Points:EUR/USD pulled back as Euro Area Consumer Confidence missed analyst estimates. GBP/USD tested new lows as pullback continued. USD/JPY gained ground, supported by rising Treasury yields.

U.S. Dollar Tests New Highs

DXY 220926 4h Chart U.S. Dollar Index gains ground as traders focus on Trump’s speech at UN General Assembly.  President Trump said that he could make a deal with Iran but would destroy the country in case Iran refused to make a deal.

Brent oil rebounded towards the $100.00 level as oil traders reacted to Trump’s words. The rebound in the oil market raised demand for safe-haven assets, providing support to the American currency.

Hawkish comments from Fed’s Collins provided additional support to U.S. dollar. She noted that she supported the rate hike and warned about inflation risks.

Currently, U.S. Dollar Index is trying to settle above the resistance level at 100.50 – 100.65. In case this attempt is successful, U.S. Dollar Index will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 101.50 – 102.00 range.

EUR/USD Tests Support At 1.1420 – 1.1435

EUR/USD 220926 4h Chart EUR/USD tested new lows as traders focused on the Euro Area Consumer Confidence report. The report showed that Euro Area Consumer Confidence decreased from -15.5 in August to -16.5 in September, compared to analyst forecast of -16.

EUR/USD attempts to settle below the support at 1.1420 – 1.1435. If U.S. Dollar Index manages to settle below the 1.1420 level, it will head towards the next support level, which is located in the 1.1335 – 1.1350 range.

GBP/USD Remains Under Pressure

GBP/USD 220926 4h Chart GBP/USD is under pressure as traders stay bearish amid geopolitical tensions and inflation worries. There are no important economic reports scheduled to be released in the UK today, so traders will stay focused on general market sentiment.

The nearest support level for GBP/USD is located in the 1.3285 – 1.3300 range. If GBP/USD declines below the 1.3285 level, it will head towards the next support at 1.3150 – 1.3165. RSI is in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional downside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.

USD/CAD Tests Resistance At 1.4065 – 1.4080

USD/CAD 220926 4h Chart USD/CAD continues to move higher amid lack of positive catalysts for the Canadian dollar. Other commodity-related currencies are mixed in today’s trading session.

From the technical point of view, USD/CAD attempts to settle above the resistance level at 1.4065 – 1.4080. If USD/CAD manages to settle above the 1.4080 level, it will move towards the next resistance, which is located in the 1.4135 – 1.4150 range.

USD/JPY Moves Higher As Treasury Yields Rise

USD/JPY 220926 4h Chart USD/JPY gains some ground as traders focus on rising Treasury yields. The yield of 2-year Treasuries climbed back above the 4.75% level, while the yield of 10-year Treasuries settled near 4.97%. I’d note that the yield of 30-year Treasuries moved above the important 5.30% level, so Bessent’s buybacks have so far failed to push yields lower.

The nearest resistance level for USD/JPY is located in the 158.00 – 158.50 range. A successful test of this level will open the way to the test of the next resistance at 160.00 – 160.50. The key question is whether BoJ is ready to intervene in case USD/JPY climbs above the psychologically important 160.00 level.

Gold Price Forecast: $4,300–$4,500 Range Keeps Bulls Waiting FMP Forex News
Original source text
Gold remains trapped between $4,300 support and $4,500 resistance as the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, interest rates and inflation keep traders waiting.

Gold Technical Analysis

Daily price chart of Gold futures trading at $4,372.0 between its 50-day and 200-day EMAs. Source: TradingView The gold market has chopped back and forth in the early hours here on Tuesday, as we are stuck between the 50-day EMA and the 200-day EMA indicators. That is something worth watching because, quite often, although not always, the market will squeeze out of that area. This market is currently waiting for some kind of reason to form a trend at this point in time.

Gold Is Still in the Middle of a Range Between $4,500 and $4,300 I think ultimately this is a market that will continue to obey those boundaries, at least until we get some type of certainty. Interest rates in America have drifted a little bit lower, so that does somewhat help gold. But ultimately, it’s probably worth noting that there are still a lot of concerns in the world with energy inflation.

That energy inflation, of course, is a major problem and a major contributor to how gold has been behaving. So, with this, I like the idea of buying gold on dips, selling it on rallies, and sticking to short-term charts because, quite frankly, I don’t know that it’s going to be an easy trade anytime soon.

With that being said, I remain fairly neutral on gold, but I do like it longer term, so that’s something that I keep in the back of my mind anytime I am trading this market. The gold market will continue to be moved by headlines, interest rates, and the US dollar. Gold continues to be attractive from a long-term perspective, but we still have many factors at play.

Silver Price Forecast: $65 Support Holds as $71 Breakout Looms
SILVER Stříbro
FMP Forex News
Original source text
10-year Yield Is Down a Little Bit in Early Trading That helped silver recover a bit, but this is a market that short-term traders will probably continue to look towards, with a very well-defined range. This has been the way for a while in this market, and I don’t see it changing very easily at this point in time.

Longer term, I like silver a lot. There is a serious deficit for what silver demand there is, and this should only grow as the AI situation and the electrification of the overall global economy will have silver being in demand going down years.

If we can break above the $71 level, at that point I’d become much more bullish. In the meantime, though, range-bound traders will probably continue to look at this as a potential opportunity, and with that being the case, I think those short-term traders will continue to flock towards this market.

USD to INR Forecast: Why Does MUFG Still Expect Indian Rupee Losses?
USDINR USD/INR
FMP Forex News
Original source text
Stronger RBI reserves offer protection against abrupt Rupee losses, but MUFG expects depreciation pressure to persist into 2027. The Indian Rupee's recovery has left Goldman Sachs and MUFG's 2027 forecasts pointing to renewed losses, despite stronger central-bank defences.

Goldman forecasts 97 Rupees per Dollar in six and twelve months, while MUFG projects 96.00 for March 2027 and 96.50 for June.

The US Dollar to Rupee exchange rate (USD/INR) slipped to 95.6039 on Tuesday, down 0.11% after Monday's 0.29% decline, retreating from last week's levels above 96.

The nearer-term comparison is more restrained: Goldman's three-month forecast stands at 96, against MUFG's 95.50 for December 2026, which allows slight Rupee appreciation from today's rate.

RBI support limits the risk of a sudden fall MUFG says foreign-currency deposit inflows have strengthened the Reserve Bank of India's ability to manage volatility, but demand for Dollars persists:

"While the enlarged reserve buffer should contain disorderly moves, it does not remove the underlying demand for dollars from FDI repatriation and the strong IPO pipeline."

That includes foreign investors converting proceeds from Indian investments back into foreign currency.

"Consequently, the balance of risks still favours gradual INR depreciation rather than a sharp adjustment."

Image: USD to INR one-month chart The inflows also created excess Rupee liquidity when banks exchanged their Dollars with the RBI, complicating efforts to contain inflation.

MUFG expects tighter policy:

"We expect 50bp of RBI tightening, split between December 2026 and February 2027, with a risk of a larger 75bp cycle."

These depreciation forecasts contrast with Crédit Agricole's anticipated Rupee recovery in 2027.

Oil remains a key obstacle for import-dependent India, despite its retreat from last week's highs.

Brent traded near $101.64 earlier on Tuesday, leaving substantial energy-cost pressure in place alongside the higher US yields that MUFG identifies as another weight on the Rupee.

Gold News: Gold Price Holds 50-Day MA as DXY Reversal Limits Selling FMP Forex News
Original source text
Daily Spot Silver (XAG/USD) Spot gold is edging lower on Tuesday. The main trend is down according to the daily swing chart. Today’s early weakness made $4,399.67 a new main top. A trade through that level will change the main trend to up. A move through $4,235.17 will reaffirm the downtrend.

Standing in the way of the start of a clean break is a short-term 50% level at $4,319.60 and the 50-day moving average at $4,301.00. A break through the 50-day MA could trigger a sharp break into the support cluster formed by the main bottom at $4,235.17 and the 61.8% level at $4,230.51. The last level is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the downside.

On the upside, the nearest resistance is a minor retracement zone at $4,384.59 to $4,405.59 and the swing top at $4,399.67.

My bias is to the downside because of the bearish trend indicator. It will strengthen if sellers can take out the 50-day MA.

Gold Price Forecast

Every new Gold analysis as it publishes, today's technical signal and key levels, live price — on one page.

See all Gold forecasts The Fed Raised Last Week and Two Officials Want Another One St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said more rate hikes may be needed to bring inflation under control. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee is looking at the demand side. Service-sector inflation and data center construction are on his list. He is asking whether the economy is producing beyond what it can handle and the tone says he thinks the answer is yes.

The Fed moved the policy rate to 3.75%-4.00% last week, the first increase since 2023. Chairman Kevin Warsh said more increases may be needed in the coming months. December hike odds jumped to about 90% from 80% a week ago. That 10-point move tells you rate traders took Warsh at his word and Musalem and Goolsbee spent Tuesday reinforcing the message.

Daily US Government Bonds 10-Year Yield The 10-year yield slipped to 4.931% Tuesday after testing the 4.922% level that held last week. It held again. The 4.809% breakout level is below. The 50-day at 4.734% is well below that.

The yield market stopped pushing higher after reaching 5.041% last week. It has not retreated. The pullback found buyers at 4.922% twice in a row and held both times. Gold is trading against a yield that paused near the highs without giving ground. That is enough to stop a deeper sell-off in the metal. It is not enough to start a rally. Tuesday’s session proved both of those statements by midday.

What to Watch The jobs data and Fed comments this week are the catalyst. December is priced at 90%. Musalem and Goolsbee spent Tuesday pushing the hike case harder. The data either keeps that number where it is or cracks it. Gold does not need a rate cut. It needs the next round of numbers to give the doves something Musalem and Goolsbee have not given them.

The UNGA sessions are the headline risk. Crude, the dollar, and gold all moved on the same unverified Kyodo report Tuesday morning. That chain runs both directions. The physical questions around Hormuz have not been answered. Tanker traffic, insurance costs, and refined product flows are what changes the supply story. A comment from an unnamed official is not that.

The trend is down with sellers sitting inside the resistance zone at the new main top. The moving average held on the first test and the rate trade is pausing near the highs without reversing. Whether this settles into a range between the average and the resistance or breaks lower depends on whether the data this week gives the December odds a reason to come down. Tuesday said not yet.

GBP/USD Forecast: Pound Near Six-Week Low as UK Borrowing Jumps and Dollar Strengthens
GBPUSD GBP/USD
FMP Forex News
Original source text
Prefer us on Google

Summary:

GBP/USD trades near 1.3370, close to a six-week low, after UK government borrowing exceeded forecasts and renewed concerns over the country's public finances. UK public sector net borrowing reached £18.3 billion in August, while the deficit for the first five months of the fiscal year climbed above the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast. The GBP/USD forecast remains under pressure below 1.3500 as the Federal Reserve signals further rate hikes while the Bank of England keeps rates unchanged. GBP/USD is trading near 1.3370 on Tuesday as weaker UK fiscal data and continued US Dollar strength keep the British Pound close to its lowest level in six weeks.

Sterling briefly recovered toward 1.3390 earlier in the session before giving back part of the advance after UK government borrowing came in significantly above expectations. The pair was trading around 1.3368 at 12:36 GMT, according to the latest market data.

The move extends a difficult September for the Pound. The Federal Reserve’s return to rate hikes has strengthened the Dollar, while falling oil prices have reduced expectations that the Bank of England will need to respond aggressively to energy-driven inflation.

GBP/USD Today: UK Borrowing Exceeds Forecasts The latest pressure on GBP/USD today came from UK public finance data. Public sector net borrowing excluding public sector banks reached £18.3 billion in August, up from £15.4 billion a year earlier and above market expectations of around £15.5 billion. It was the second-highest August borrowing figure on record after 2020.

Borrowing during the first five months of the fiscal year has now reached £77.3 billion, around £8.1 billion above the Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast. The deterioration came despite stronger tax receipts, with higher spending on public services, benefits and debt-interest costs contributing to the increase.

For currency markets, the figures have renewed attention on Britain’s fiscal position ahead of Chancellor John Healey’s first Budget on October 28.

British Pound Outlook: UK Budget Risks Return The British Pound outlook is becoming increasingly sensitive to UK fiscal policy. Higher government borrowing combined with elevated gilt yields could reduce the Chancellor’s room to meet existing fiscal rules without tax increases, spending reductions or other policy changes.

The UK 10-year gilt yield was around 5.24% on Tuesday, reversing part of a four-day decline as bond yields moved higher across Europe.

Higher yields do not automatically strengthen Sterling when they reflect concerns about government finances. Investors are instead assessing whether rising debt-servicing costs will further squeeze the government’s fiscal headroom ahead of the October Budget.

KPMG estimates that fiscal headroom could fall to around £12 billion from £23.6 billion in March, adding to speculation over what measures could be announced next month.

US Dollar Today: Fed Rate Hike Keeps Greenback Supported The other side of the GBP/USD exchange rate remains dominated by the Federal Reserve. The US Dollar has held close to a seven-week high after the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points last week, taking the federal funds target range to 3.75%-4.00%.

More importantly for currency markets, policymakers indicated that further tightening may be necessary this year.

Comments from Fed officials have since reinforced that message. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem have both indicated that tighter monetary policy may still be required to bring inflation sustainably back toward target.

That has helped maintain the Dollar’s interest-rate advantage and kept pressure on GBP/USD even as the Pound attempts to stabilise.

Bank of England Interest Rates: Markets Scale Back Hike Bets The Bank of England interest rate outlook is moving in the opposite direction. The BoE left rates unchanged last week, while a retreat in crude oil prices has subsequently reduced some of the urgency surrounding another UK rate increase.

Brent crude fell toward $100 per barrel after President Donald Trump left open the possibility of a diplomatic solution with Iran and additional regional supplies helped ease immediate concerns over shortages.

Lower energy prices matter for the UK because they reduce the risk that the recent oil shock feeds more persistently into inflation. For Sterling, however, that also means markets have less reason to price aggressive BoE tightening.

The resulting Fed-BoE policy divergence has become an important driver for GBP/USD: US policymakers are signalling additional tightening while expectations for another UK hike have softened.

GBP/USD Forecast: Can the Pound Recover Above 1.3400? The GBP/USD forecast remains cautious after the Pound’s sharp decline during September. GBP/USD is trading near 1.3368, below its 20-day moving average at approximately 1.3490. The pair has also fallen below the rising trend that had supported the recovery from its June lows.

The immediate level to watch is 1.3400. A sustained recovery above it could ease some of the current downside pressure, with 1.3490-1.3500 forming the next important area.

On the downside, 1.3300 provides the first major psychological level. A deeper decline would bring the late-July region around 1.3275 into focus, followed by 1.3200.

The broader direction will depend less on any single technical level than on the evolving Fed-BoE interest-rate gap and the UK’s fiscal outlook. For now, both have moved against Sterling, leaving GBP/USD vulnerable while it remains below 1.3500.

Why is GBP/USD falling today?

GBP/USD is under pressure after UK government borrowing exceeded forecasts while the US Dollar remains supported by expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. UK borrowing reached £18.3 billion in August, renewing concerns about the government’s fiscal position ahead of the October Budget.

Will the Bank of England raise interest rates again in 2026?

Expectations for another Bank of England rate hike have weakened as oil prices retreat from recent highs. The BoE left rates unchanged at its September meeting, and markets are now assessing whether easing energy costs will reduce the need for additional tightening.

What is the GBP/USD forecast after the Fed rate hike?

The GBP/USD outlook remains under pressure while the pair trades below 1.3500. Further Fed tightening could maintain support for the Dollar, while a recovery in Sterling would likely require either stronger UK fundamentals or a reduction in expectations for additional US rate hikes.

USD/JPY and DXY Price Forecast: Bullish Rebound Faces Overbought Risks
OIL Ropa (Brent)
FMP Forex News
Original source text
Despite mounting geopolitical risks, crude oil prices have declined more than 10% from their monthly highs. Combined with overbought momentum readings on the DXY and dollar pairs, this increases the risk of a near-term reversal.

The DXY is also testing the lower boundary of its previous 2026 uptrend from below, creating a critical technical juncture.

The drawdown in crude may reflect market expectations of near-term resolutions, alongside increased Saudi Gulf exports following the disruption to the East-West pipeline. Related article: Crude Oil Weekly Outlook: Saudi–Houthi Escalation vs Key Resistance

This setup challenges hawkish Fed expectations for the October meeting, particularly if crude prices continue to decline below recent lows near $90 for WTI and $96 for Brent.

For USD/JPY, the divergence in central-bank guidance remains important. Hawkish Fed expectations, with rate-hike odds above 50% for October, contrast with expectations that the Bank of Japan may hold rates at its next meeting. This divergence continues to support the dollar against the yen unless broad-based dollar weakness emerges alongside a reversal in rate-hike expectations.

DXY Daily Time Frame — Log Scale

Source: TradingView

On the daily time frame, the DXY’s bullish rebound from the 98.50 support level—the 50% retracement of the 2026 advance—is currently retesting the 2026 uptrend from below near 100.50. However, daily momentum is becoming overbought, similar to readings observed near previous yearly highs.

A breakout above 100.50 would place the DXY back within the 2026 uptrend, targeting 101.00 and 101.80 before confirming new yearly highs. Such a move could extend pressure on precious metals and FX pairs facing a stronger dollar.

On the downside, a reversal below 100.00 would expose support at 99.30 and 98.50 once again, before confirming a potential return toward the yearly lows.

DXY Monthly Time Frame — Log Scale

Source: TradingView

Although a drawdown toward the yearly lows may appear significant, it would remain consistent with the boundaries of the uptrend established since 2008. The 95.00 area therefore represents a critical long-term level between a potential bearish structural shift in the dollar and bullish continuation.

This perspective also aligns the DXY with the midpoint of the declining channel established since 2022. A clean monthly close above 101.80 could open the door toward the channel’s upper boundary near 107.00.

USD/JPY Weekly Time Frame — Log Scale

Source: TradingView

From a weekly perspective, USD/JPY’s breakdown below the April 2025–July 2026 uptrend channel puts the latest decline into context. The pair is now approaching the lower boundary of the broader uptrend established since 2023.

This reinforces the short-term downside risk while maintaining a longer-term bullish outlook. That outlook would weaken if USD/JPY closes below 152.00 and 149.00, corresponding approximately to the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement levels of the 2025–2026 advance.

On the upside, sustained closes above the Fibonacci extension levels at 154.80 and 158.40 would expose resistance at 161.30. This would place the pair back within the year-long uptrend and potentially open the way toward yearly highs near 164.00, raising the possibility of decade highs and renewed pressure on the Bank of Japan and the yen.

Dollar resistance levels, alongside declining crude prices, remain key to establishing the final-quarter outlook as the U.S. midterm elections approach and geopolitical signals remain mixed.

A renewed rise in crude and Treasury yields above their September highs, combined with renewed dollar strength, would be required to confirm a re-escalation in geopolitical risk and a broader risk-off sentiment toward year-end.

Trump-Xi summit: five issues to watch and the trading playbook
AUDUSD AUD/USD
FMP Forex News
Original source text
Referenced assets

Key takeaways Trump–Xi may extend the trade truce, but firm tariff cuts and timelines are needed to prevent a sell-the-fact reversal.Rare-earth licences and AI-chip rules are the key swing factors for USD/CNH, Hong Kong 33 and the Nasdaq 100.AUD/USD is the cleaner China-growth trade, while the Singapore 30 provides lower-beta regional exposure. Look for yuan confirmation. President Trump will host President Xi in Washington on 24 September 2026. Markets are already leaning towards a constructive outcome, with US semiconductor stocks, Asian technology stocks, the yuan, and Hong Kong equities strengthening ahead of the meeting.

The catalysts for the current bullish tone have been “smoothing rhetoric” from US and Chinese officials ahead of the Trump-Xi summit meet-up.

Last weekend’s “warm-up meeting” between the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China’s top trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, was peppered with encouraging signs of engagement on Artificial Intelligence (AI), a key sensitive technological issue where both sides are now vying for a supremacy position in that will likely allow the leading country to reign over geopolitics, international finance and military affairs.

Bessent said both sides have agreed to create a “US-China AI dialogue” that is intended to develop a common understanding of the cutting-edge technology’s benefits and threats.

In addition, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told media outlets that while the US remains divided on the terms of a US-China trade truce extension, with the current deadline set on 10 November 2026, but expressed optimism that Washington could support a further extension of three to six months.

This raises the hurdle for further gains: an extension of the existing truce may be treated as a “sell-the-fact” outcome unless it includes measurable commitments.

Five key highlights Duration and scope of the trade truce

The current truce expires on 10 November. The immediate question is whether it is extended for six months, one year or longer, and whether the extension prevents new tariffs and export controls.

Watch for progress on the proposed Board of Trade and reciprocal tariff reductions covering roughly US$30 billion of goods.

Rare-earth exports and critical-mineral licences

Washington wants more reliable flows of Chinese rare-earth magnets and critical minerals. China controls around 70% of global mining and more than 85% of refining and production, giving Beijing significant negotiating leverage.

A concrete licensing mechanism would be more market-positive than another general promise to maintain supplies.

AI chips and technology restrictions

The critical issue is whether the AI dialogue remains focused on safety or expands into semiconductor export licensing.

Any easing of access to advanced US chips would support semiconductor sentiment, while tighter controls or accusations of model theft would weigh on the Nasdaq 100 and chipmakers.

Soybeans, Boeing and measurable Chinese purchases

Markets will look for specific purchase volumes and implementation dates. Earlier commitments included additional US agricultural purchases and more than 200 Boeing aircraft, but several elements remain incomplete.

A headline without tonnage, dollar value or delivery schedules is unlikely to sustain a rally.

Taiwan and Iran are the geopolitical tail risks

Taiwan remains the most dangerous issue because a shift in US language or new arms-sale threats could overwhelm progress on trade.

China’s economic relationship with Iran is another potential source of friction. These issues matter because they could turn a commercially constructive summit into a broader strategic confrontation.

Top five tradeable assets Asset Constructive summit Disappointing summit Positioning ahead USD/CNH Falls as the yuan strengthens USD rises on renewed tariff risk The cleanest summit trade. The USD/CNH has been trading in a major downtrend since the 8 April 2025 high of 7.4294.   Bearish momentum accelerated via the breakdown below the 8 February 2023 low of 6.7740.   Now, it is trading near a 52-week low of 6.7000. If the 6.7477 key medium-term pivotal resistance level holds, the ongoing downtrend may target the next medium-term support levels at 6.6540 and 6.5836 (see Fig. 1). Hong Kong 33 Gains on tariff relief and lower China risk premium Vulnerable to profit-taking. The Hong Kong 33 has staged three consecutive sessions of rallies (+2.85%), with summit optimism already partly priced in.   Watch for any potential minor pullbacks to establish better reward/risk set-ups at or near the intermediate pivotal support zone of 24,940/850, with next intermediate resistances at 25,365 and 25,570 (also the 200-day MA) (see Fig. 2).   Nasdaq 100 Benefits if AI-chip restrictions ease Falls if controls tighten Keep pre-event exposure modest as the US Nasdaq 100 CFD has rallied steeply by 2.8% on Monday, 21 September 2026.   Watch for any potential minor pullbacks to establish better reward/risk set-ups at or near the intermediate support zone of 30,245/29,985.   In conjunction, the catalyst for the next bullish leg may be the tone of the communiqué that contains specific semiconductor or licensing language (see Fig. 3). AUD/USD Rises as improved China sentiment supports the Australian dollar’s commodity and growth sensitivity Falls as risk aversion strengthens the USD. AUD/USD has traded in a range between 0.7148 and 0.7080 after a minor bullish reversal at the retest of its 50-day MA (0.7077) ex-post the FOMC.   Bulls need to break above the 0.7148 (range resistance & pre-summit high) to gain a potential foothold towards the intermediate resistances of 0.7165 and 0.7186 (see Fig. 4).   Hawkish Fed repricing remains a potential upside constraint.   Singapore STI / Singapore 30 Gains moderately as improved trade visibility supports regional banks, industrials and China-linked companies Likely underperforms Hong Kong on the downside but still faces regional risk-off pressure. A small bullish position may provide lower-beta exposure to Asia, given Singapore equities' defensive nature.   The Singapore 30 CFD has managed to re-integrate above its 50-day MA after briefly trading below it from 15 to 21 September 2026.   Watch the 529.80/527.04 key intermediate pivotal support zone (also the 50-day MA) to keep the ongoing potential recovery towards the intermediate resistances at 538.64, 543.06 and 545.87 (see Fig. 5).   In conjunction, watch for the ex-post summit movement in USD/CNH and Hong Kong 33 for potential confirmation of a positive reaction. The critical price actions confirmation would be simultaneous strength in AUD/USD and Hong Kong equities alongside a decline in USD/CNH. If that cross-asset confirmation is absent, any initial risk-on reaction may be vulnerable to reversal.
